Lovebirds – Free Crochet Amigurumi Pattern

Look at these two! Such an adorable couple. I hope you enjoy crocheting these two cuties! This project works up quick and perfect for amigurumi beginners as it’s super easy to make. I’ve used teal and orange so their colours stand out but of course you can use any colours you like.

Fasten off and leave a long tail end. To close the body, weave tail end through all 6 stitches in the front loops only then pull. Weave in and hide tail end in the body. Scroll down to see pictures for reference.

Using pink yarn, embroider the blush. Don’t forget to weave in and hide yarn end!

Loop through a couple of strands of yellow yarn on top of the head.Insert hook in the centre then out through one stitch hole. With the hook, grab a few strands of yellow yarn.Yarn over and pull through the loop. Cut off yarn to preferred length.

HOW TO CLOSE

I learned of this wonderful closing/finishing technique from June at PlanetJune.

After the last round, Fasten off as per normal. Coming in from the centre always, weave in yarn tail end through the front loops of each stitch then pull the tail end carefully.

It should now close. Insert the needle in the centre again then weave in and hide the yarn tail through the piece several times. Cut off the excess yarn.

I just love how they’re so chubby looking and a little unusual! Make sure to make two lovebirds so they’re never alone!!

If you do make the lovebirds, I would love to see them – post a picture on instagram and tag me @maryjcarlos (or #helloyellowyarn) or post on my Facebook page.

I stumbled upon this lovely crochet pattern last night and it was the first thing I tried after waking up today! My birds came out as cute as they can be ❤ Thank you so much for the pattern and for the many assembly pictues (because that's the hardest part for me, still). I will be sniffing around your blog for more goodies 😀
